Remember that multiple pile up at Oz 08?&amp;nbsp; He's missing the excitement and it must be a right bummer watching Vettel and Webber from the sidelines racing in&amp;nbsp; such good cars, but I think he's doing the right thing having a bit of banter with EJ, much safer....</description></item><item><title>If Brawn and Red bull cars were so good preseason</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/854725.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2009 19:17:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:854725</guid><dc:creator>anametoremember</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/854725.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=101&amp;PostID=854725</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;If Brawn and Red bulls car were so good preseason, why couldnt Brawn
entice Alonso and why did Coultard retire. Surely, if the they really
had a car they have been working on during 2008, drivers like Coultard
and Alonso would have stayed and joined onboard? Surely a driver like
Alonso would have clocked a good car when one was presented to him as
they pleaded for him to join onboard to convince Honda to stay?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am just asking this question as I believe a little more as
gone on in F1 than teams working on a car a little longer than others,
to be honest, I think Donelly and Mosley gave a little more help to
others, whilst they knew they convinced the main teams to fall back
with the Kers system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Call me a conspircy theorist all you like
because to some degree's I am, because I would also like to add, I am
starting to think MJ just might not be dead at all&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/emoticons/emotion-8.gif" alt="Indifferent" /&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
